One of the most exciting phenomena in modern pop culture is the rise of crossovers. At its simplest, a crossover is when characters, worlds, or franchises that normally exist separately are brought together in a single story or event. But in practice, crossovers are much more than that. They represent the evolution of fandom itself—toward collaboration, shared universes, and interconnected storytelling. In an age where fans thrive on speculation, mashups, and endless “what if” scenarios, crossovers feel almost inevitable. They are the cultural manifestation of the internet generation’s remix mentality, scaled up to blockbuster proportions.
